I am in Training!!!!!!!

I finally bit the bullet and went to check out working for an Insurance Company. And I have decided to accept the challenge of writing insurance polices. At least I will be contacting people in my general location who have responded and are interested in the insurance. I will be training all next week and will be driving about 75 miles to Columbus Georgia. Once I am trained, I will be required to go into the office on Mondays for Agent meetings. So that will not be so bad. I will also need to buy a laptop and I have wanted one of those anyways.....Of course, in the meantime, I need to take the Georgia state test to get licensed and then take the Alabama certification as well since I am on the border of both states... Wish me well...........and do you need any insurance? Marhta

i do wish you well and i do need insurance-health ins--but i am in ohio!

I was told yesterday that if people come to see me...I could write the policy, no matter what state they live in. Therefore, I will talk with my manager about you and see what we can come up with....it is a reputable company.

well that could be interesting cuz i can't afford to really come see you !but i DID contact you! one issue i ran into is that i am a post wls patient--when we lost our medical mutual on jan 31st (hubby was let go from work then) i was offered the cobra but could not afford it--and now- i asked anthem about a policy-they say i have to be 5 yrs out from wls-that stinks.... anyhow--best of luck to you in the new endeavor--i should look at something in sales but i just don't have the get up and go anymore...and i DO need ins!!! keep me in mind!

Will do....and that is interesting about needing to be 5 years out from wls to be covered. Since I am in the same boat, I will let you know what I find out. Thanks again.

I do wish you well, but I have a lot of insurance. I'm insurance poor!! My Dad and Mom didn't have insurance and they paid hospitals by the month for years! So I'm well covered. I do hope you'll enjoy your new job. Judy

Thanks Judy. I am insurance poor too.

Good for you, Martha, how wonderful! The insurance biz doesn't know what's about to hit 'em! Go get 'em, Martha! Is your husband ok with you going back to work? Maureen

I had no choice. He is retired and only gets SSI . I was collecting a full paycheck from my old company for 9 months. It was a great vacation. I wish I could have done it longer. And I have been looking for a job ever since I relocated and was having problems even getting a response. My new boss told me he read my resume' and felt I was over qualified. I believe that has been my problem all along. Since I want to make a salary comparable to what I was making, I needed to take this type of job. This area on the GA/AL line does not have a very high pay scale.
